Dr. Russ and Dee Fine demonstrated some of the sparkle that led to them being honored with HerrinFesta Italiana’s 2017 Lifetime Achievement Award on Tuesday during the Mayor’s HerrinFesta Honoree Banquet in Herrin Civic Center. Dr. Fine started speaking by saying he could not achieved what he has without the partnership of his wife, Davadeen “Dee” Woerner Fine, and asked her to join him at the podium.
“We dated six times and eloped. He knew he had to get me quick,” she said, giving the crowd a taste of the humor that no doubt endeared them to their audiences on radio and television in Birmingham, Alabama. Herrin Mayor Steve Frattini said the event serves as one of kick-off events for HerrinFesta and celebrates the honorees. In addition to the Fines, Frank and Vicki Colombo were honored as parade marshals, and Veterans Airport of Southern Illinois as corporate honoree.
